Are you enjoying your Black Friday Weekend? 

Everyone loves a good deal and a bargain, so here’s a bargain for you – my three books Endurace, Endurance: Apocalypse and The Author will be free to download this Black Friday Weekend (28th & 29th) on Amazon. 

Below are universal links to my books and their synopsis. The links will take you to their Amazon product page where you can download them onto your kindle without paying a single penny, and begin reading them within seconds. 

Download Endurance – Horror, Mystery and Suspense

‘London is silent. Severed bodies lie amongst the rubble. What once was a lively city is a now a murderous grave, enclosed in smoke and ash. The cause of the destruction is unknown. Left haunted and terrified, survivor Tom Williams confronts the brutal, mutilated streets as he fights to uncover the truth. Could he be the last hope to restore normality?’

Download Endurance: Apocalypse – Horror, Mystery and Suspense

‘London is intolerable; the infected dominate the ravaged streets. Miller has gained full control and takes advantage of his authority, experimenting with the virus in an attempt to form a new superhuman army.’

“Danni entered the station, the breeze was the only sound, eerily howling through the underground; the station was deserted. She ran up the escalators and stood at the top of Waterloo station. Staring along the station she saw corpses scattered across the ground. Splattered and smudged blood decorated Waterloo.”

Download The Author – Thriller, Mystery and Suspense

‘Four years after his wife and children disappeared, Ryan Milligan decides it’s time to let go of the past and move to a new home on Mulberry Lane. Ryan hoped his new house and peaceful neighbourhood would help him to cope better with the pain of losing his family and to continue his search. Whilst settling in and writing his new novel, ‘Killing for your love’, he realises things are not what they seem…’

“My new house is only a mile away from the home I used to live in with Tan and the kids, but now I feel like I’m in a different world. I can’t help but feel like I’ve been here before and done this before. There’s a presence here, I can feel it. There are things happening in this house that aren’t normal. I’m threatened by the lack of control I have over them.

There’s one room where I feel it most, and as I stare at the door leading down into the basement, it begins to creak open.”

Writing my new thriller ‘Deception’ – Chapter 17 & 18 

T. J. BlakeLeave a comment

I’ve been writing and editing Decpetion this weekend, swiftly moving past chapter 17 and onto a shocking chapter 18. 

Billy had been enjoying his dangerous victory until a familiar face appears, in the most unlikely form. 

The victory suddenly turns into a punishment, which will haunt him for the rest of his life. 

Chapter 19 will be a tough and emotional time for Billy. 

It’s been a while but I’ve given ‘Flash! Friday’ a go!

T. J. BlakeLeave a comment

For this weeks Flash! Friday Fiction the aim was to base your story on any two of their four given story elements, I decided to go for conflict – man v nature and setting – an island. The aim is also to keep the word count between 75-125 words.
So below is what I wrote, my short story The Awakening.

The Awakening (111 words)

Awakening from a forced sleep I feel a cooling breeze and an itchy sensation on my face.
Listening to the distant breaking waves I imagine a perfectly shaped glowing pellet. It closes in and expands into a burning planet above me. Spotting the curling flames descend from the orb I watch on as they slither across night sky, generating a portal to the inside of a volcano. The peaceful and unaffected sea water lights up and reflects the fierce and tender bloodshot sky. I feel escalating footsteps numbly thudding around me, and then I remember.

Opening my eyes I stare across the deserted sandy island. They said this day was coming.

The Great South Run in 13 days… Disaster strikes!

T. J. Blake2 Comments

I’ve been training for this 10 mile run for some time now and it’s just 13 days away. Typically though I have hurt my foot after deciding to run 10 miles on Friday evening. I’m struggling to walk and putting any sort of weight on the foot is pretty painful. 

No matter what though I will still be running, walking or crawling those 10 miles. If my foot doesn’t heal in time then it won’t stop me. 

If you’re not aware, I am running (or hobbling) The Great South Run in just under two weeks in aid of Cancer Research. This is a great charity, extremely close to my heart. We all know someone who has been affected so please don’t stop reading!

I ask you to kindly donate as much as you can, all donations would be hugely appreciated!

More writing today

I’ve done some more writing today for my next thriller novel Deception. 

Today Billy has been told that his beloved woodlands are no longer his. He’s infuriated and now his mind is filled with anger…

Currently Writing – My next book is called…

T. J. Blake1 Comment

I have been writing my thriller novel and it is getting extremely close to the juicy and big twist now. 

Billy is an intriguing character and the reader will have many questions about him, but Billy currently has many questions for his love interest Eve. 

Billy though is continuing to have weird thoughts, but no wonder with his current situation! 

I can finally reveal that I have decided to call this new thriller Deception! 

Let me know your thoughts on the book title.

New Thriller New Title?

T. J. BlakeLeave a comment

I have been trying to think of a title for my new thriller for a while now, but I may have finally thought of a title worth considering. 

After originally submitting the first few chapters of ‘The Dog Walk’ for my dissertation, I then decided to continue writing it and adapt it into a full novel. I was initially going to stick with ‘The Dog Walk’ as the title for the book, but for me it just wasn’t right. I thought of titles such as ‘Woodland Walker’, ‘Collared’ and ‘Woodlands’, but none of which suited the book. Now though I have a title which is well suited and definitely my best title yet.

The piece of work originated from my Creative Writing Dissertation (Which I gladly received a First for). I did a lot of research into the field of psychogy before creating the characters and story. With my readings, I was able to create the intricate and intriguingly strange and lonely main character Billy. 

I’m happy with how the story is currently unfolding, and I can’t wait to get it finished and published for all of you to read.
